When Telangana TDP member Narsi Reddy attended the Mahanadu in Amaravati recently, he went hammer and tongs at YS Jagan to get the attention of Chandrababu Naidu.
He ended his speech with a small fable in which Venkateswara Swamy who gets up on the arrival of all his devotees does not do so when YS Jagan arrives as he fears that YS Jagan is hungry for a ‘chair’ and will therefore grab his chair if he gets up.
Chandrababu Naidu wore a delighted smile on his face at this story. But the story seems to have invoked the anger of Lord Venkateswara Swamy himself because the TDP is increasingly being put on the back foot over the TTD issue.
In response, Naidu is once again saying that he is ‘Nippu’, is a staunch lover of Venkateswara Swamy and has a 40-year clean history.
If he has such a love for God, why did he demolish so many temples and religious institutions in Vijayawada and elsewhere in the name of road widening?
Has his party not been exposed in trying to encroach Sadavarthy lands? What justice has been done to the 27devotees who died in the stampede on day one of the Godavari Pushkarams?
By the way, did Narsi Reddy forget how Naidu himself came to power? By grabbing the chair of NTR.
So, the story is more apt for NTR than YS Jagan who actually quit the Congress Party and even went to jail for 16 months defying the Italian mob.
